Macroscopic Traffic Safety Analysis Based On Trip Generation Characteristics, Chowdhury Siddiqui
Macroscopic Traffic Safety Analysis Based On Trip Generation Characteristics, Chowdhury Siddiqui
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Recent research has shown that incorporating roadway safety in transportation planning has been considered one of the active approaches to improve safety. Aggregate level analysis for predicting crash frequencies had been contemplated to be an important step in this process. As seen from the previous studies various categories of predictors at macro level (census blocks, traffic analysis zones, census tracts, wards, counties and states) have been exhausted to find appropriate correlation with crashes. This study contributes to this ongoing macro level road safety research by investigating various trip productions and attractions along with roadway characteristics within traffic analysis zones (TAZs) …
